Our Solar System Was Born in the Bubble Created by the Death of a Giant Star, Say Scientists

The nearest black holes are about 3000-5000 light years away, which given the age of the solar system at ~5 billion years, I suppose it’s possible.

Interesting idea that requires a lot more work though.

a huge ‘bubble’ of gas and dust with a dense ‘shell’

One must always keep in mind that “dense” is a relative
term and does not mean dense as a lay person would understand
it, the gas and dust particles might be miles or light
seconds apart...

Raj new this all along, but, couldn’t talk about it without consuming alcohol.

All one has to do is study Eta Carina and you would know how this could happen.

*** “I think I remember when that happened” ***

I was there! It was a bigger blast than Woodstock!

True! But if your starship is whipping through it at warp speed it can really wreck your paint job!

[tet68]

That’s why I always coat the hull with Dust-X tm.

I’m so old-school I’m still using Turtle Wax and a good buffing.

I just fly with the lights on...for safety.
Usually take a couple of Gas-X tablets before lift
off too.

When you’re traveling faster than the speed of light
headlights become tail lights don’t they? lol

[JoeFromSidney]

There once was a student named Bright,

Whose speed was much faster than light.

He went out one day, in a relative way,

And returned the preceding night.

[TigersEye]

Good one!

[BatGuano]

Do they mean that we are the result of a Cosmic Fart?

Wow, that Grant Money is going for entertainment.

[Does so]

We are alone...

[ShadowAce]

Not talking to you, SunkenCiv, but this theory is stupid, like most of the recent ones have been.

1. They estimate the age of the universe to be only about 13.7 billion years old.
2. A star like the one they're talking talking about takes billions of years to form, and it lives for billions of years.
3. They also estimate that Sol is already several billions of years old.

Given the above, there's no way there's enough time for that hypothesis to have occurred.

God knew we would need the aluminum foil.

“It amazes me how scientists just “know” this. /sarc”

Really. It takes a lot of imagination to diss God. It’s a pretty far-fetched story. As they say, “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.”

[Windflier]

I do not believe or trust these people any longer. Sad.

Sounds like you're ready to join the rebellion against fake science:

Electric Universe
